Laramie Flick, president of the NYC Pedicab Owners Association, said that competition from Uber would make it impossible for the roughly 300 pedicabs operating in the park to make a buck anywhere else in Manhattan.

“Uber has destroyed the streets. We only get the leftovers. Basically, this will put the pedicab industry out of business. A few may be able to survive in Midtown,” Flick said. “But between Uber and the ban, that will be the end of pedicabs in New York.“

Allowing pedicabs north of 85th street makes no sense either because the operators would go broke in that end of the park, he added.

“Giving us the north end of the park is like adding insult to injury. There’s nothing there, the hills are insane and there are no tourists,” he griped.

The ban, part of a deal with horse-carriage drivers to restrict them to the park, took Flick and pedicabbies by surprise.

“I’m in shock at the moment. It’s pointless and stupid. I’m utterly flabbergasted that the mayor would go from banning the horses to destroying pedicabs,” he said.

Hamidou Kere, 33, who has operated a pedicab in Central Park for three years, said, “This is going to kill our business.

“Where am I going to go? Midtown? There’s too much competition there with Uber, yellow cabs and all the other cabs. The traffic is not easy there, either,” he said.

But pedestrians weren’t shedding any tears.

“I find them annoying,” said Heather Baisley, 22, an actress from Brooklyn. “I’m for the ban but I don’t want more [pedicabs] in Times Square or around museums. We don’t need them.”

Nor did Hizzoner show sympathy for the pedi-pests.

“We’re obviously introducing a new element into Central Park with the horses, and I think that’s a good choice. But we have to make an adjustment in terms of the pedicabs for balance and I think it’s a fair outcome,” he said.

The pedicab operators have menaced pedestrians and ripped off tourists for years, critics charge, even though they are required to prominently post their prices.

De Blasio’s deal, which he struck with horse-carriage drivers Sunday, would let them operate only in Central Park and cut their numbers by more than half.

The deal will take effect June 1 if approved by the City Council.

De Blasio has been trying to rid the city of carriage horses since 2013, when he promised during his campaign to ban them.
